Although our site is very popular, the current economic climate has reduced our revenues just when we need extra security to prevent attacks from hackers who don't like what we do. If you think what we do is worthwhile, please

ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - In a brief scene an obviously stoned policeman is running
around naked. We very briefly glimpse part of his genitals (the scene does not have sexual
content). There are several discussions about sex and brief references to sexual
practices, including brief references to pregnancy and homosexual sex/rape in prison. In
the context of a joke a man talks about beetles having sex with humans. A man unzips his
pants and it is implied that a couple will have sex (nothing is shown). Some cleavage.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Mostly presented in a light-hearted manner: In three
different scenes, a man threatens three different men by holding a switchblade to their
throats. Several old women attack and hit a man repeatedly with their purses. A man
jokingly slaps another man, and a woman angrily slaps a man. A man shoves a cameraman away
(we see it from the camera's perspective). On TV we see a scene from an old Christopher
Lee Dracula movie. We see several people smoking Marijuana (see Note).
A funeral.

PROFANITY 7 - About 16 F-words, a few scatological terms, a few religious
exclamations, and a few insults and mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Illegal drugs (especially Marijuana or hemp), the war on
drugs and the legalization of Marijuana, pregnancy and unwed mothers, family secrets,
infidelity, English village life.

MESSAGE - Growing and using Marijuana may be illegal, but it's not immoral.
Friends should stick with friends during difficult or dangerous times.

(Note: The film deals with the
growing and selling of Marijuana as a consumer commodity. While it is often mentioned that
this activity is illegal and participants go to prison, many otherwise law-abiding
citizens and the local constable turn a blind eye. We also see several people consume
Marijuana: as a cigarette, sipped as tea, and in one scene many people inadvertently get
high after they inhale smoke from burning Marijuana plants. Invariably, people who are
high are shown to be uncontrollably joyful and gentle -- although one woman apparently
throws up.)

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
